Introduction

This GLOMACS Petroleum Refining-Production Planning, Scheduling and Yield Optimization training seminar is a combination of two modules specifically designed to run consecutively. Attendees are given a detailed overview of all major refining processes and are familiarized to the most commonly encountered production planning and scheduling issues in petroleum refineries, how to identify them and resolve them.

Additionally, this GLOMACS training seminar will present a detailed outline of refining process yields optimization, from the crude oil feed to the finished products. Issues of operations scheduling for petroleum refining are discussed in depth and enhanced with planning and scheduling and yield optimization examples..

This GLOMACS Petroleum Refining-Production Planning, Scheduling and Yield Optimisation training seminar is oriented toward the practical aspects of refinery operations as well as the terminology and economics of refining.

Learn the skills to crude selection and optimization that result in improved profitability

Develop the skills necessary to apply blending techniques using excel

To familiarize and understand the various refinery types and appreciate how refining complexity impacts refining optimization and refining margins

Comprehend the importance quality giveaways and learn how use practical excel spreadsheets for blending calculations to reduce quality giveaways

Use hands on software that allows professionals in the industry to choose different crude diets to optimize refinery utilization efficiency and profitability

Act as a primer into the industry of Petroleum Refining and familiarize industry professionals with all processes associated with the processing of petroleum into finished products

Equip new engineers into the industry, with the basic tools for understanding the complex nature of Refining and its operations

Training Methodology

This GLOMACS Petroleum Refining-Production Planning, Scheduling and Yield Optimization is a hands-on, stimulating learning experience. This GLOMACS training seminar will be highly interactive, with opportunities to advance your opinions and ideas. Participation is encouraged in a supportive environment.

To ensure the concepts introduced during the seminar are understood, they will be reinforced through a mix of learning methods, including lecture style presentations, open discussions, case studies, and short videos. Hands on computer software and simulations will be provided to illustrate the application of planning and scheduling. The case studies provided for group work will be re-enforced with practical exercises and ample opportunities for deliberation and sharing of experiences.

Attendees will have the opportunity to develop personal competencies and build up expert knowledge of crude oil production planning, scheduling and yield optimization in a range of equipment.

The training has been so educative and insightful. This is my first time of attending Glomacs training and I am really impressed about the thoroughness and attention to details. The course was really educative, and quality of content was great. The training was well organised and structured. I'll recommend Glomacs again and again.
